Transforming Canada’s buildings for good
Green buildings are a proven choice for a better, more prosperous and resilient future. They reduce energy and water use, cut waste, and are more affordable to operate. By building green, we can create good jobs and encourage climate-friendly innovations. Today, advances in green building can reduce carbon emissions and eliminate environmental impacts, making communities more resilient and helping Canada meet its climate targets.
Green Building Benefits
Green buildings are affordable, efficient, and designed with people and the environment in mind.

To meet Canada’s climate targets green, resilient, and zero-carbon buildings must become the norm.
Retrofits for the Future
Retrofitting existing buildings is important to reaching Canada’s climate targets and a significant job creating engine.
